Return of the Archmage

4.

There was no news that the monster came out of the contaminated area except for the contaminated area where Lee Hye-sung visited.

Still, people are anxious.

Having a precedent means that there's nothing strange about the same thing happening again.

"The governments of each country will find out sooner or later. This is the only special case. I don't know what's going on in the level 7 pollution zone, and I don't see anything like this in other pollution zones. I'll announce it soon. That's the only special thing. You don't have to worry. Our polluted areas are still safe."

"...You don't believe me, do you?”

"Of course, people will know by then. Maybe experts who sell cracks all day long will find out before the government does. But there's nothing I can do about people who will be anxious. Crack brakes are like natural disasters. Even though I don't believe that I'll be harmed, I know the government will tell me in advance if I wake up, but I live with a little anxiety. It doesn't actually change if I step up and tell you."

Because it has already happened and has affected reality.

If Lee Hye-sung had come forward and said something different, he would have already said it and become a hero.

I'm just committed to it.

"Let's find out what's going on between the spirits and the tigers, take care of them, and pack them up."

"Let's do that."

Let's not care about the misunderstanding or anxiety of the world and let's go on our way.

Since when have you lived up to the expectations of the world?

Kang In-ho, sometimes when there is a crisis that mankind faces, he did the best he could, regardless of the border, but Lee Hye-sung is hard to relate to such a class.

Besides, this is just a case of a lot of misunderstanding.

It's too early to be sure, but it's highly likely.

"Let's go, level up."

"I'm looking forward to it."

Kang In-ho was also curious.

I don't know what's going on between the monsters.

This is the moment when their own situation, which has not been easily found in cracks, is seen through a translucent window that is open to the world as a special pollution zone.

In a way, the first discovery.

The first expedition.

The word "first" is always exciting.

Above all, the moment you fight with the monsters there, your heart beats and is strong enough to feel alive.

A professional who enjoys challenging moments of strength.

I was willing to invest the rest of the month.

***

Prior to the hunt, Lee entered Korea immediately.

Then I headed to the user department store.

"You said today was auction day, right?"

"Yes, only for VVIPs."

Rational and the fastest way to spec up!

Money!

Lee Hye-sung was going to spend money.

Money is so important that there is no way to raise the specification faster than spending money in cracks that are no different from games.

If the world's richest man wakes up as a user, he can enter the rank right away.

With money, you can raise the stats as much as you want with the stats pot.

All kinds of stats can snort away with level differences while wearing accessories and armor on their bodies.

But even if you do that, it's a crack that kills too easily.

When I entered the department store, an employee guided me underground.

Apart from the VVIP-only floor on the top floor, the auction house will be held underground.

13th basement floor.

A private room located in a safe place if a nuclear bomb falls.

"Oh, it looks like something's going on.”

"Since we're coming from all over the world. Some people don't want to be identified."

"Terrorists?"

"That's possible."

"That's great anyway. A professional mind that you can sell to terrorists if you have money. What if they all crash and terrorize department stores?"

"It's hard to do business if you worry about it in the first place."

"You do."

Lying on a comfortable sofa, he sees the stage where the host is located through a translucent mirror located in front of him.

A vast circular space.

Dozens of windows can be seen across, but not inside.

That's how the auction works.

"It's a glass with mana on it."

"I tried to pierce it a few times, but it didn't work."

"Well."

I am slightly curious before the auction begins.

How should I say this? You don't have to look at it, but it makes me want to see it.

Mana moves slightly.

Analyze and permeate the manna of glass written in the other room.

It doesn't have to be lifted.

All you get from that kind of hard work is the sale of the auction.

You don't have to do it out of curiosity in a situation where every minute and second is a waste.

Mana's fairy tales were made easier than I thought.

It's not someone's magic, it's just an artifact from a crack.

I can see the inside.

"Oh."

"Can you see it?"

"Yes."

"Who is it?"

Kang In-ho asks with more curiosity than ever.

He is acquainted with most of the rankers.

There will be many users who have a grudge as well as acquaintances.

Or even if you don't know each other, there are quite a few people who know each other's

It's quite meaningful to see which of them is buying which item.

Hana Lee Hye-sung shook his head.

"I don't know him.”

"I guess so. What's the description? Just give me a rough idea of where you're from."

"I can't see it."

"You can't see?"

"Yes, there's a woman sitting up there."

“…….”

"I think you're warming up before the auction starts. I'll describe her in detail when she comes down.”

"No, thanks."

Curiosity, which had soared to the sky, went down to the floor.

I didn't even want to imagine other people's personal lives and check who they were.

Instead, they focus on the appearance of the auction host holding the microphone and coming up.

It's a sign to mark the beginning of the auction.

- Good afternoon. VVIP customers.

I ask Lee Hye-sung with what I hear.

"I heard there are a lot of great things today. You got enough bullets, right?”

"Well."

Now that you've come to the auction house for specification, you should think it's also a battle.

The moment you think you save money, you miss the item you want, especially in VVIP auctions, you have to think that it is hard to get the item that you missed once again.

I asked him just in case he would do well on his own.

Lee Hye-sung told me that Kang In-ho's worries are skewed.

"When I delayed the video settlement, I got about 7 trillion won after tax."

“…….”

"That's enough, right?”

Everything is enough.

No matter how much VVIP auction is worth, it will be enough to shoot and kill all VVIP members who participated in the auction as well as auction items.

I realized at the same time.

"It wasn't the time to worry about others."

Lee Hye-sung is not the only one who needs specification up.

5.

So many rankers participated in this VVIP auction.

More than 100 private rooms are full.

If all the people in such a room are put together, there is nothing strange about the world's wealth going into their hands.

Not all of them, but some of them were sponsored by such rich people.

That's one reason they're all in one place.

"The flow is changing."

"If you don't keep up, you fall behind."

Crack is not just an RPG game.

If it was the best game to clear higher cracks by raising the level and matching the equipment, Kang In-ho should have already done everything.

Of course Kang In-ho is doing it alone, but it's not just because his level is number one.

Performance

Ability

It's possible because it combines everything.

Could he have become as famous as he is now if he had been struggling in a six-level rift, just like other users?

Could he have imprinted the title of world No. 1 in the head of people all over the world?

It won't be.

He won first place because he cleared a seven-level crack that no one could achieve, regardless of the level.

achieving achievements that no one can deny

Solo player achievement.

This is a medal.

The Order of Merit, which is not a fabrication.

Kang In-ho proudly broke the level 7 crack without anyone's help.

I bet it and I do everything that others can't do.

That's why it's number one.

I don't miss the flow again.

Adapt to change and keep up with it.

That is the driving force behind Kang In-ho's refusal to give up his position since he became a user and reached the top.

So the rankers try to keep up with the flow by his standards.

To hand him over one day.

Not to fall behind now.

So I've been preparing more than usual.

It somehow raises the specification.

Even if it's too much, I'll buy it today even if I think it's too much.

Of course, the rankers who participated in the auction know.

"I'm sure the others feel the same way."

"Let's get one level 5 or higher accessory.”

"Stat potion. I need a stat potion.”

The competitors think the same way.

With a strong heart, the auction began.

The first item, it usually starts with a simple item.

Because if it's too hot from the start, it could cool down at the most important last minute.

Knowing that, participants also catch their breath and calm themselves down.

The auction is long.

In particular, VVIP auctions are even longer.

I heard that at least 10 items are in progress and 30 items are prepared today.

I heard that it is okay to look forward to it, so I have to take it slowly and long term.

With that thought, the goods were revealed.

- The first item is Auger's bracelet. It's level 5 accessories.

"Huh?"

"What?"

Users who were catching their breath on the first auction item, which simply featured level 5 accessories, rose up.

It's an object that can't be seated.

If I could break through the glass, I'd like to see you up close!

For them, the bracelet looks enlarged on the glass.

Options are also shared through holograms.

"……wow."

"It's like this from the start?"

It means one thing if you're not trying to fool users.

"This auction. It's going to be tough."

"I'll have to be careful."

The best ever.

It was not a myth to say that the auction would be special, the user department store said.

a change of times

Not only the rankers but also the user department stores that live according to the changes in the flow of cracks.

I felt it and took it out.

The secret weapons I've saved up so far for this day.

And Lee Hye-sung definitely cut the start for the user department store, which has been ambitious.

"200 billion."

200 billion won! As we start with a special auction and salivating items, there are people who know the value. The auction unit will be 10 billion won.

Bullet fight.

Whose bullets are more?

Lee Hye-sung scattered the bombs in all directions.

Everyone has been fully prepared, but attention has been drawn to the room, which cuts off 200 billion won from the start.
